Configure
connections for the traffic between the software or dependent hardware iSCSI
adapters and the physical network adapters.

The following tasks
discuss the iSCSI network configuration with a vSphere standard switch.

If you use a vSphere
distributed switch with multiple uplink ports, for port binding, create a
separate distributed port group per each physical NIC. Then set the team policy
so that each distributed port group has only one active uplink port. For
detailed information on vSphere distributed switches, see the
vSphere Networking documentation.

Use this task if you have two or more physical network adapters for iSCSI and you want to connect all of your physical adapters to a single vSphere standard switch. In this task, you add the physical adapters and VMkernel adapters to an existing vSphere standard switch.

If you use a single vSphere standard switch to connect multiple VMkernel adapters to multiple network adapters, set up network policy so that only one physical network adapter is active for each VMkernel adapter.
